Synovial sarcoma under the lens: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Synovial sarcoma, an uncommon malignant tumor, can occur in various anatomical sites but mostly involves joints. It is invasive locally and tends to spread to other sites. We report a male patient, 56 years old, who had swelling above his right ankle. Soft tissue edema was observed across the lateral malleolus in imaging examinations. A synovial sarcoma was diagnosed on histopathology. A complete resection was performed and postoperative treatment with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide was given for 2 months. The 5-year survival rate is only expected between 27-55%. Furthermore, many authors concur that synovial sarcomas are among the most frequently misdiagnosed soft tissue cancers due to their sluggish growth pattern, benign radiographic appearance, capacity to fluctuate in size, and potential to induce pain similar to that brought on by ordinary trauma. Therefore, the case emphasizes the need for additional study to identify the best diagnostic approaches for synovial sarcoma.
